Toki Tori

It took a while, but today we put a brand new Steam beta online! It's got a huge batch of new content and should play close to final! <u>We're in desperate need of your recordings</u>, so we've basically given you a third of the entire game to play through. Be careful though, since there is a lot of near final content in this build, <b>only play it if you don't want any spoilers!</b>

<b>How to record your session?</b>
To record your playsession, simply press 'R' and press 'Record' before you start playing.

<b>How to submit your session?</b>
To submit your recorded level, press 'Stop' and then 'Show File'. This will open een file dialog. Zip the resulting file and e-mail (tokitori2 [at] twotribes [dota] com) it to us and we are forever grateful!

It's been a bit quiet on the Toki Tori 2 front, but that's about to change as we head to the final stretch of development. We've written a new blogpost on how our Steam testers improved the Berrybug creature, check it out!

In Africa Unleashed 3D for the Nintendo 3DS you charged into Africa to hunt wild animals like the leopard, rhino and elephant, bringing more than 30 weapons to bear on 15 different types of wild beast. Shouldn't this be called Hunter Unleashed 3D?

Granted I don't believe any of the animals roaming deepest Africa are wearing leashes. That would make the game far too easy. Instead they are running about, desperately trying to avoid becoming the subject of a Disney animated movie. Stupid animals, Disney doesn't make animated movies anymore.

I am not anti-hunting. I enjoy the flesh of tasty animals. I'm just not a big elephant eater (I prefer mini elephants).

Along with the senseless slaughter of a nature documentary, this week sees the release of a demo for Theatrhythm Final Fantasy, a 3D futuristic tunnel racer (as opposed to a Victorian tunnel racer), and Game Boy Color classic Toki Tori.

Suddenly I'm craving eggs.
